DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1939
NUMBER 28
This and That
PROSPERITY ON THE SKIDS
According to figures recently prepared by the
COLORADO BUSINESSMEN'S TAX ASSOCIATION, $142,176,000 was paid by citizens of the state
in taxes for 1938. In plain arithmetic, that amounts to
$132.75 for every man, woman and child. The average
per capita income for Colorado is $504, which means
that 261/2 percent of all earned income is devoted to
taxation—school district, city, state and federal.
While it is true that the state budget is within
hailing distance of being balanced, it is also true that
there will be an inevitable increase in this tax bill in
the nature of additional school levies, to cover deficits
in a number of school districts occasioned by the
diversion of the income tax.
This type of taxation does not bespeak democracy, republicanism or good government. Permitted
to continue, it will destroy prosperity and will increase the very thing it is foisted on the American
public to prevent—namely, destitution.
POETRY DAY IN
THE MOUNTAINS
Statement
of Gov. Carr Gi
During His Campaign
"I think the matter of paroles, pardons and com-
munations is one of the most important things that
comes before a chief executive. I believe that each
case needs particular attention. I will devote as much
of my time as possible to that phase of the work as
governor. After investigation, if I think that a man
should be given clemency I will extend it to him and I
will not care what critics may say.
The power to extend clemency by
the governor was given for a purpose. To my way of thinking one of
the reasons for giving it was to
correct mistakes.

mistaken public sentiment. There
are two schools of thought on the
matter of clemency to men in
prison. My school teaches me to be
lenient where every leniency will, in
my judgment, do the most good and
I think publicity hurts the chances
of the man you are trying to help."
The above statement was made by
Governor Carr during the campaign
last fall when he was asked what
he thought about paroles, pardons
and commutations.
Since he has been governor
seventeen people have received
clemency at his hands. Sixteen of
them are out of the penitentiary
and the individual reports say they
are doing well and are meriting the
trust imposed io them.
The fact that they were let out
was not been made public. The j
governor says it has been better ]
for them. During the last few days
publicity has been given to his acts.
Governor Carr says be intends to
continue the practice of allowing
those whom he thinks are deserving,
to leave the prison.

LAST RITES HELD FOR

HICKORY GROVE
By Anna Madole
Some day when the world is all
awry, take a good look in the mirror, it may help wonderfully in
tolerating the faults of others.
The greatest water power known
to man—Womans tears.
The following story contains more
truth than fiction, and may suggest
a cause for lack of home life today.
A real estate salesman tried to sell
a house to a newly married couple.
Said the wife! Why buy a home?
I was born in a hospital ward, reared in a boarding school, educated in
a college, courted in an automobile,
and married in a church. I get my
meals at a cafeteria, live in an
apartment, spend my mornings
playing golf and my afternoons
playing bridge, in the evening we
dance or go to the movies, when I
am sick I go to the hospital and
when I die I shall be buried from
an undertakers. All we need is a
garage with a bedroom.
Here is a saying that will do us
all good these days. Its good to have
money and the things money will
buy. but its good too, to check up
once in a while and make sure you
haven't lost the things money can't
buy,
HAROLD M. WEBSTER JR. OFF
FOR PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Funeral services were held Wednesday afernoon for Mrs. Olivia A.
Simmons, 64, of 1590 Krameria St.,
wife of Edmund Simmons. Mrs. Simmons died suddenly in her home
Sunday evening. She was born in
Mount Pleasant, Iowa and attended
Iowa Wesleyan University, where
she met her husband. They were
married in 1902 and moved to Denver4 in 1927. Surviving besides her
husband are one son, Ernest A. Simmons and a sister, Miss Sarah Ambler, both of Denver. Cremation followed the funeral services.
Harold M. Webster Jr., son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harold M, Webster
of 1937 Grape street, left Denver
June 28, for San Francisco, California. He will be stationed at Camp
McDonald on Angei Islands until he
is transferred to Schofield Barracks
at Honolulu, where he will enter
the Infantry West Point Preparatory School. Young Mr. Webster
passed very successfully both the
Fitzsimmons and the Fort Logan
examinations. The West Point Preparatory School is a new government institution to prepare young
men for officers in the army. Those
having the highest grades this fall
will be transferred to West Point
and those in the second class will be
transferred to Fort Sam Houston,
Texas and from there to West Point
VVAZEE MARKET TO
OPEN ON AUGUST 1
August 1st has been set as the
date for the opening of the new
Deenver Market and Produce Terminal, located on Wazee street, according to officials of the market.
Work has been progressing rapidly
during the past few weeks. Bids
were recently let for plumbing in
the administration building and
heating in the Amato building.
With the 14th street viaduct having opened last Saturday, providing
a direct arterial route through No.
Denver to the new market, everything is in readiness for the opening of this great new food center.
North Denver is expected to benefit
materially by the new location.
A feller, even in a half-way doze
and with one eye shut, he can see
some odd things.
And what I got in mind, is this
excitement down there in Washington, about being scared about a
shortage of electricity in case of
war.
This country, she is oozing with
power. The government it has been
building dams and putting up wires
on every mountain top, river and
creek. And some of them are now
finished, like on the Columbia, and
Wash, is sitting up nights trying to
induce or inveigle somebody into
going out there and use the surplus,
but nobody shows up.
And in Nebraska, the state it is
getting round-shouldered from
power. And in Tennessee, they are
about floored since the government
edged into the business there, on a
grand scale. But the government
pays no taxes—and the folks there,
they have to make up the difference
—and it is not so pleasant.
Trying to figure out why the
stripes go round and round on a
zebra, instead of lengthwise, it is
Idnda confusing..but trying to savvy what the government will do
next, it is more so.
Yours, with the low down,
JO SERRA.
